Notes:

• Table shows maximum allowable length of submersible cable for the given full load current
where site voltage is normal ie 415 V

• For other voltages, the cable size is to be selected for the length which is calculated as follows

• Calculated length = (415 / Actual voltage) x Actual length

• 7.5 HP and above are SD motors. For these motors, the actual current is 1/√3 the FL current

• The cable size and maximum allowable length are arrived at accordingly

OMBW005A 23 2020.01
Electrical wiring work

All electrical work must be performed by an authorised electrician in compliance

with local electrical equipment standards and internal wiring codes. Improper wiring
can lead to current leakage, electrical shock, or fire. Provide a dedicated (ELCB) earth
leakage circuit breaker, Single-phase preventer, dry-run preventer, and overload
Warning preventer for the submersible pump. Failure to follow this warning can cause electrical
shock or explosion when the product fails or an electrical leakage occurs.

Operate well within the capacity of the power supply and wiring.

Earthing

Be sure to install the ground wire securely. Failure to observe this precaution could
damage the pump and cause current leakage, which may lead to electrical shock
Warning

Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or telephone
ground wire. Improper grounding could cause electrical shock
Caution

Connecting the power supply

Observe relevant Electricity Board regulations while powering up the Pumpset

Caution

Before inserting the power plug or connecting the wires to terminal board, make sure
that power supply is properly disconnected. Failure to do so may lead to electrical

Warning shock, short, or injury caused by the unintended starting of pump.

Do not use damaged cables, power plugs, or loose power outlets. Failure to observe
this precaution could lead to electrical shock, short circuit, or fire.
Caution

OMBW005A 24 2020.01
Precautions during installation

When installing the pump assembly, ensure that it is suspended properly from the
tripod stand or else the pump will fall into the bottom of the bore and which is
difficult to retrieve. Provide backup
Warning

When installing or moving the pump, never suspend the pump by the cable. Doing so
will damage the cable, which may cause current leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
Caution

Start-up

When the pump has been connected correctly, direction of rotation confirmed, and submerged
in water, it should be started with the gate valve closed off to approximately 1/3 of its maximum
volume of water

If there are impurities in the water, the valve should be opened gradually as the water
becomes clearer

The pump should not be stopped until the water is clean as otherwise the pump parts and the
non-return valve may choke up

As the valve is being opened, the drawdown of the water level should be checked to ensure that
the pump always remains submerged

The dynamic water level should always be above the inlet bracket

If the borewell yield is less than the discharge of the pump it is recommended to have a dry run
protection device

If the water level approaches the inlet bracket, there is likelihood of air being drawn into the
pump along with water. This can reduce the life of hydraulic components and damage the pump

If you find any abnormalities like vibration, noise, smell, etc., from the pump
during trial operation, switch OFF the pump and contact the dealer from whom
this pump was purchased
Warning

OMBW005A 25 2020.01

12. Preventive maintenance checks
A definite schedule of preventive maintenance inspections should be established to avoid breakdown, serious
damage, and / or extensive downtime. The schedule will depend on operating conditions and experience with
similar equipment. The below checklist does not represent an exhaustive survey of maintenance steps necessary to
ensure safe operation of the submersible pump.

The pump must not be operated with the delivery valve shut-off for more than a few
seconds; otherwise the motor will overheat, possibly causing permanent damage

Warning

Utilize the services of certified electrician to carry out electrical measurements /

checking the functioning of starter
Warning

Taro Submersible Pumps do not require frequent maintenance

However, it is good practice to monitor the conditions and performance of the pump and motor

Diagnosis may be carried out by checking the following:

Close the delivery valve and check the shut-off head generated by pump

Check the current drawn by the pump at the duty flow rate

Both these data should be compared to corresponding data recorded when the unit was initially
installed

Any reduction in shut-off head may indicate wear of the pump hydraulics

Any increase in motor current at duty flow rate indicates a possible overload condition

Under running conditions, intentionally disconnect any one phase and check if single-phase
Preventer workst
